LEHI, Utah, May 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Founders of global wellness leader XANGO, LLC joined with hundreds of Mexican distributor leaders to celebrate the opening of a new state-of-the art office in Mexico City. The office will allow for continued strong growth for XANGO in Mexico where, in just five years, the company has surpassed more than 100,000 customers and distributors. Mexico is among the five largest markets worldwide for XANGO and a key hub for the company's future expansion into other countries in Latin America.

"We are excited about the future of XANGO in Mexico, where we've seen our distributor base continue to grow throughout many regions of the country. The inauguration of this office is another opportunity to demonstrate XANGO's commitment to a successful, long-term presence in Mexico," said XANGO President and CEO, Robert Conlee. "With a uniquely branded office, our distributors can build their businesses with confidence, supported by a rapidly growing number of in-market employees."

The state-of-the art, 3,000 square foot office is located in the heart of Mexico City's business district. With two-thirds of the office dedicated to distributor use, the space features several meeting areas, including a multimedia room that can seat 120 participants. The headquarters for XANGO's expanding Mexico operations will also accommodate an expected 400 percent increase in corporate staffing through the remainder of this year and beyond.

"This new office is one of several recent strategic investments in our international markets and symbolizes the success of XANGO in Mexico as we look toward future expansion within this country and in other parts of Latin America," said XANGO Founder and Chairman Aaron Garrity. "Our success in Mexico, led by our talented distributor leaders, is providing hope and opportunity in this wonderful country."

In conjunction with the opening of the new office, XANGO also announced the launch of XANGO® Reserva in Mexico. A premium companion to global market leading mangosteen beverage XANGO® Juice, XANGO Reserva features a richer, smoother texture and flavor profile designed for special occasions. Reserva's proprietary formula includes a higher concentration of xanthones and other phytonutrients from the mangosteen. Currently available in the U.S. and a handful of markets worldwide, Reserva is the newest product available in Mexico.
